How to Export to Image in the Original Folder ?

Post by daiducdaiuy »

Dear Suppoter.

I'm really tired of having to manually select the destination folder every time I export a file to image. I simply want the images to be saved in the same folder as the source file by default.

I’ve tried using %[FolderName] and %[SourceFolder], but neither of them works. If there's a proper way to achieve this, I’d really appreciate your guidance. Otherwise, I hope this feature can be considered for future updates.

Thanks

Hello daiducdaiuy,

Instead of the Destination Folder field, try adding %[FolderPath] to the beginning of the Filename field. In that case, the value set in the Destination Folder field will be ignored. Note that %[FolderPath] itself includes a trailing backslash "\", so there is no need to add an additional backslash (though adding one will still work).

Note that %[FolderPath] provides the same functionality as the previous %[FolderName] macro. Both macros work, but since build 396, %[FolderPath] is also available to more accurately reflect the functionality in the name.

The online help documentation is still outdated, but it should be updated eventually.

Best regards,
rakunavi
